Hey,

There is an ESRI code (ESRI:102318 
<http://spatialreference.org/ref/esri/102318/>) corresponding to the 
requested projection... However, I doubt CRS will take an ESRI code 
(Roger ?).
Jonathan, have a look at the rgdal and sp packages help pages for the 
"How To" in CRS()

Best regards

Alex
